The new fundraising plan for Alumni Hall was officially announced in October 2011. One year later, the college had reached the $8 million mark. Exterior renovation work, including new outdoor staircases and a freshly paved driveway, was completed during the spring of 2012.

The newly renovated Alumni Hall will house many of the college’s offices and centers, including the Offices of Admission and Alumni Relations and the Centers for Research and Advanced Study, Career and Pre-Professional Development and Global Studies. The Lincoln Studies Center and the new Whitcomb Heritage Center, showcasing exhibits on Galesburg and Knox history, will also move into the building.
